We also offer running training in the fall and winter, and swim classes throughout the year. Heard from a Tri Zoner:
"I've been in other training programs, and the difference between those and Tri Zones is that in Tri Zones I am part of a TEAM. There is a big difference between a program and a team."
Tri Zones Training is a triathlon training group based in Austin, Texas.
